Great value
Pros: Fast, cool operating temperature when paired with coolermaster tower cooler ( sub 30*) "windows rating" went up half a point after a switch from a phenom X3 at 2.4 to this Athlon II X3 processor clocked at 2.79
Cons: None so far. Retail CPU's that work and clock right around what you expect tend to not have cons ;)
Overall Review: Great price. Maybe I'm out of the loop or something, but this seems pretty inexpensive for what you get.
Good, solid cable
Pros: This cable is longer than most phone charging cables, and has a ferrite EMI on each end. The cable fits snug on both ends, and is supple. I would recommend this cable to anyone
Cons: None.
Skeptical at first.
Pros: Fast motherboard, easy O/C Straightforward installation Plenty of SATA space Plenty of PCI (e) space great looking north and south bridge heat sinks. runs cold
Cons: VGA did not work, SATA stopped working properly Included drivers crashed windows (several installs of several OS installs)
Overall Review: RMA to ASUS took a while, but was easy to set up and get off to them. Don't ship FedEx, it's $24 to ship a motherboard for some ridiculous reason. All in all, however, this is a great motherboard, and I am happy with my decision to remain a loyal ASUS customer.
Quiet
Pros: Still working after three years. Extremely quiet, keeps CPU chilly for optimum performance. Lowered temp 10* C from standard cooler. Very compact and sleek looking.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: None.
Still works
Pros: Still working great after three years. UV light is not thrown very far, so it's not annoying. Gives a nice purple glow as well, and lights up UV paint extremely well from almost directly above
Cons: Wires are short, but easily remedied by someone with tech. know how.
Overall Review: Have these mounted above and below a plexi case window with UV designs painted on it. Looks great.
Great HDD
Pros: Quiet, fast seek, low latency, runs very cool
Cons: none
Overall Review: I always buy WD hard drives. NEVER had a problem
